@edgarhentai: " Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) introduces a number of new
features that help increase the performance and the security of your
system. These changes also affect the operations and functionality of
some programs.
...
And the list is long ! :S And yes, it does include Zone Alarm ! ;)
Anyway here is the link (With the list of app) 888a:dbb7:2d49:b3f6:8605:bf4e:caed:e5a4

And here is an other link to cancel the auto install of SP2 888a:dbb7:2d49:b3f6:8605:bf4e:caed:e5a4

Good luck to you all !! :)

Some ? More people use Linux (any distribution) then MacOSX, so if you
count anyother OS then Win you get a lot more then some.
Beleve it or not ZoneAlarm is consider, by many, to be the best
"Firewall" software available for Win. I don't. I hate that thing !
Last time I gave it a try it complitetly took over my pc ... :(
Sometime, many time it doesn't have anything to do with smart (Not on
this newsgroup anyway) ;) sometime you just don't have the choice. I
only have one pc that runs Win and very saddly I don't have a choice
... :(
Anyway I'm going for it. It's not today that I will back down in from
of a Windows challenge ! :)

I remember back when SP3 for NT4 would smoke your ethernet
if you installed it with the PC plugged into the network.
If you think Windows service packs are not done right, let
me tell you about some Novell service pack horrors I've
encountered."

Well that list had every application I use for both leisure
and work.
Wonder if anyone here in 2600 will have the balls to install
it? i would if I had a test box."
    @ByteCoder: "<quote>
I am running it now. :) So far no problems (if you turn off the 
firewall, etc.) But then it is just like SP1. ;)
To test it I ran the DivX player, which I otherwise never use, and when 
I played a video the sound suddenly stopped.
Nero is in that list, probably because CD-Recording is on by default on 
the properties of your disk drives (if it's a burner ofcourse). I turned 
it off and suddenly I didn't get strange error messages anymore.
FYI, this made me decide to run Gentoo Linux as my desktop system when I 
get my new box. :)
Xorg-X11, KDE, OpenOffice, Gimp2, Mozilla. Hey, I got everything I need!

So. Eleonore H. said 888a:dbb7:2d49:b3f6:8605:bf4e:caed:e5a4 I think those bug are because in SP2 the
firewall is active by default.
And yes PRAY THE LORD !! She was right !!
So if you go for ... wait ! Where the hell is Norton ?? Oh ! God!!
Where is Norton !!!
"Symantec will release a product update to provide native support for
the Windows Security Center status utility found in SP2. This update
will be available worldwide over the coming weeks and will enable
Symantec products to communicate their status to the Windows Security
Center utility."
Ok so in clear, Norton is dead !
Ok about the firewall ... Go to Start menu -> Networks connections ->
"Right click" Local area Network -> Tab "Advanced" -> Buton
"Setting..." -> ... Now this should be your last option but if nothing
works hit the "Off (Not recommended)" to turn off the firewall. or if
everything goes well select the "Exceptions" Tab and manually add the
program you want to get acces to the internet.
I did the best I could now it is all up to you ! :S

I use Nero 6 and Windows CD writing both. Neither has caused
the other to malfunction.
I had to give up my Redhat 9 box when my kid's PC died and I
didn't want to give him another laptop to destroy. I've
heard some good things about Gentoo but have found all
distros to be disappointing where Windows media is the
focus. Sure my RH box did a great job for internet and
office stuff but I'm a musician who likes to produce some
local bands music. Bands that don't have the money to turn
their final product into a CDR to be sent off to the
duplicators. That's where the light shines through the
Windows in Sound Forge and Cool Edit and the myriads of
DirectX effects plugins. I've seen nothing for any Linux
distro that could come close to what I need in that respect.
There was something in the works that could do some of the
things but it crashed so much I couldn't figure out what all
it did. And I also like to create, duplicate, and author DVD
video. Lots of people like some of the work I have done for
their home movies. And I've done some videos for bands.
Nothing that I know of for Linux that does that."

True, Linux is good foor general office applications, but not for very 
specific tasks (like audio/video editting). That's probably because of 
the small user base. Which, if MS continues like this, will explode in 
the not-so-distant-future.

Actually, I mainly rely on keeping my /home on a separate partition, if
you really screw it up, everything is still there, even after a wipe and
reinstall, just don't format the /home partition, obviously.
BTW, where you been, summer vacation? welcome back.

Sorry to hear that. That's why I was always very leery of
putting subsequent on NT4 servers. I'd just cross my fingers
and hold my breath and breath a sigh of relief only when the
server had been up and running a month after without a
reboot. Similar to Novell. I used to get a tingling on the
back of my neck after updating NLM's or putting an SP on it
and waiting for it to mount the file system. Then sigh in
relief after users got logged back in and no ABEND."

Never happened yet, have even installed Suse over Redhat, and then gone
back to Redhat that way, never lost any data in /home, kept all
mail/news and other important stuff.
Oh, well, stuff happens.
